Eurekas advance on Parliament

Eureka stockade flags are up to mark the 150th anniversary of the Eureka rebellion. This week they lined Commonwealth Avenue, but were not allowed to proceed further up to Parliament house itself thanks to bans by the the Speaker of the House of Representatives and the President of the Senate. One was to apparently be seen in the foyer of the Senate though. Debate on what it actually all means over at surfdom. I seem to recall that when the national flag of another coutry is flown (to mark the national day of a country), every second flag is still the Australian flag, just to remind us all where we are I suppose ... not so with this showing (which isn't a national flag of course).
